Abstract
A handle for a trace is provided that is memory indifferent. The handle is created using contents of the trace rather than memory location of the trace. This enables the trace to be easily identified in subsequent runs of an application associated with the trace.
Claims20
An article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one computer usable medium having computer readable program code logic to define a handle for a trace of a processing environment, said computer readable program code logic for execution by a computer for performing a method comprising:
- obtaining at least a portion of the trace;
- and
- generating a key based on contents of the at least a portion of the trace, wherein the key is a handle for the trace, said handle being indifferent to memory location of the trace.

A method of defining a handle for a trace of a processing environment, said method comprising:
- obtaining at least a portion of the trace;
- and
- generating a key based on contents of the trace, wherein the key is a handle for the trace, said handle being indifferent to memory location of the trace.
A system of defining a handle for a trace of a processing environment, said system comprising:
- at least a portion of the trace;
- and
- an encoder to generate a key based on contents of the at least a portion of the trace, wherein the key is a handle for the trace, the handle being indifferent to memory location of the trace.
